But do your best not to betray too much happiness, lest you and your teammates be subjected to spheroid retribution.

Fri, 16 May 2014 16:27:05 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=521825#comment-706163I have a new theory that acceptable behaviour according to the invisible macho rules after home runs is that you can express yourself with pursed lips. Kind of like preparing for a car crash. Doing it with a bat flip, or with the eyes, mouth too open or any exclamation, or too much head turn, especially more than 15 feet out of the box (or staying more than 1.5 seconds in the box), having your hands go above the shoulders or more than 2.5 feet from your sides are all not right. Basically, follow this video. Arms at your side, get chugging, don’t look too much, express through the lips.

And that he probably will. He said himself his swing was getting too long and he needed to shorten up a little bit, which would help him on the up and in pitches that are killing him.

The heat maps all say go high on Trout, reliever went low, gone. This season sure has felt much better than the last few for Angels fans.
